Answer:
they felt that direct democracy would give the people too much of power.
Step-by-step explanation:
Farmers of the Constitution took the power to vote directly for a President out of the hands of the citizens because they felt that direct democracy would give the people too much of power. They also feared that such right would give provisions to 'mob rule' and therefore created the system of electoral college where the president would be elected by the Congress.
They established a republic where people would first elect their representatives to the Congress and the president would be then elected by the representatives of the people.
